Chapter 8

Gibbs straightened his tie once more in the mirror tonight was the marine corporal ball, so he was dressed in his marine dress, ready to spend the night with a women he had begun to fall so hopelessly in love with.

He usually ended up going alone to support his fellow marines but this year he had asked Jenny to come with him.

After brushing off the dust once more Gibbs then took a deep breath before leaving for Jenny's house.

Meanwhile in her Georgetown property Jenny was looking at herself in her floor length mirror she smoothed down the silky dark green dress, she didn't own many dresses as she usually just wore trousers or the occasional skirt but hardly any dresses, the dress she was wearing now was one of her favourites.

Her hair was up in a scruffy bun with some strands of hair framing her face, she also wore dark green high heels that matched the dress. Her phone began to ring.

She then made her way over to her bed where her phone sat, she sat down and answered it "Shepard" she answered knowing exactly who it was.

"I need you Jenny" Director Daniel Davis's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"What!" Jenny yelled down the phone.

"I need you to be my security detail for tonight, your team are already doing it, so why won't you?" he asked.

"I'm busy" She yelled before closing the phone and throwing it back on her bed and huffing only for her phone to ring again.

"What" she growled thinking it was her boss and ex again.

"It's me Jethro, you ok?" Gibbs's sweet an charming voice spoke to her making her feel at ease and calmer.

"Yeah I'm fine, sorry for snapping at you" she smiled down the phone although he couldn't see it he knew he was making her smile.

"Don't say sorry it's a sign of weakness" Gibbs told her knowing that Jenny was rolling her eyes at him. "Anyway I want to know if your ready" He enquired.

"As a matter of fact I just finished" Jenny let out a little laugh, he seemed to have great timing.

"Well then look out your window" he spoke to her.

Jenny smiled before walking over to the bedroom window and pulling back the curtain and looking down at the road below her, She smiled as her green eyes met Gibbs's blue, he looked up at her with a charming smile before waking one hand to her.

She nodded at him before putting the phone down and walking over to her dressing table and putting it in the clutch hand bag then she went downstairs and towards the front door and opened it.

There stood on her door step was standing Gibbs, looking as handsome and as charming as possible, he was holding a bunch of orchids just like when they had gone on their first date.

"You look beautiful" Gibbs complemented her, looking her up and down and it was true she really did look beautiful.

"You don't look so bad yourself" She smiled at him before reaching up and kissing him and he kissed her back, when they finally pulled apart Jenny put the flowers in a vase then they left.

Half an hour later they arrived at the ball, Gibbs got out of his truck then walked around the other side to let Jenny out. "Thank you" She smiled as she took his hand, they both then walked into the building.

"Name?" The person checking them in asked.

"Dr Leroy Jethro Gibbs and guest" Gibbs spoke, his hand still in Jenny's.

"Yep there you are" the younger man said looking at the guest list "enjoy your evening sir" the man smiled before letting the couple walk away.

Together they then walked down the stairs, there was a band on the stage who were already playing music, meaning some couples were already dancing. But most were just standing, talking and drinking.

"I'll get us some drinks" Gibbs suggested walking away leaving Jenny alone for a moment.

"Jenny" the redhead turned to find Tony, Ziva, Tim and Abby coming towards her.

"Abs what are you doing here?" Jenny asked hugging her goth friend.

"The director needed an extra person and I had nothing to do" Abby explained

"Where is the director?" Jenny asked raising an eyebrow.

"Around" Ziva gave the redhead a small smile.

"Hi guys" Gibbs greeted them as he came back over to Jenny with two tumblers if bourbon in his hand, he then handed Jenny one.

"Thank you" She smiled to him.

Abby looked Gibbs up and down, he looked very handsome indeed "Well Gibbs, don't you clean up nice" she almost giggled only to be jabbed in the side by Ziva.

"Thanks Abby" Gibbs gave the goth a small smile before looking at Jenny and noting how beautiful she looked.

"We should, get back to the director" Tim nodded to the couple.

"See yah later guys" Jenny smiled to them as they walked away.

"You wanna dance?" Gibbs asked taking her glass from her and putting it on a table next to his.

"Sure" Jenny loved dancing, she wasn't very good but loved doing it and it surprised her that Gibbs was even asking her to dance.

He smiled at her before taking her to the dance floor and then holding one of her hands in his and then resting his other hand on her waist, her free hand went to his shoulder, then they began to sway to the music.

Both were surprised how well they fitted together, how well they were already so in sink. "Jethro…" she began looking up so her green eyes met his.

"Jen…" he began his eyes looking at hers. Both could see the love and desire they reflected, both knew what they wanted to say.

"You're a great dancer" Jenny chickened out, feeling maybe that it was too soon to tell him how she felt about him.

Gibbs was surprised for a moment but smiled at her "Your aren't bad yourself" he complemented before leaning down and giving her a quick kiss on the lips as the song ended and everyone broke apart.

They then walked off of the dance floor hand in hand "I'm just going to go talk to an old friend I'll be back in a minute" Gibbs smiled to her Jenny.

"Sure" she nodded before going back to their drinks and taking a sip from hers.

"Jenny" the redhead turned to find her boss and ex.

"Director Davis" she glared at him "What do you want?"

"Oh dont be like that Jenny" he rested his hand on her arm.

She shrugged off of his arm "I already told you, it's special Agent Shepard" she growled at him.

"Ok on the job, but off the job" he grinned at her wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her closer ignoring her protests.

"There is and never will be any off the job" Jenny tried to push Davis away.

"Have I told you how good you look in that dress" David asked her eyeing her curves in the green dress.

"Get your eyes off of me and on your wife" jenny tried to push him away once more but Daniel's grip was just too strong.

"Hey" came the familiar gruff voice stopped made both Jenny and Daniel turn to look at him. The moment Gibbs set eye's on Jenny he saw the relief flood through her features.

Gibbs glared at the other man who immediately moved his arm from around Jenny's waist and stepped back a little bit.

"Is there something I can do for you?" Davis spat at Gibbs.

"Yeah, you can leave Jenny alone" he growled at him.

"I think, that Special Agent Shepard can look after herself" the man challenged back at Jenny to Gibbs.

"Well obviously you are not listening to her when she tells you back off so either you start listening to her or I have to punch you into submission?" Gibbs asked as Jenny put a hand on his arm, in an attempt to control his temper.

"Hey" they all turned to find Helen Daniel's wife "It's Special Agent Shepard isn't it?" She asked offering the redhead her hand.

"Yes, you must be the directors wife" Jenny shook the women's hand.

"I didn't know you were a former marine" the blond smiled at Jenny as she wrapped an arm around her husband.

"I'm not" Jenny shook her head before pulling Gibbs close to her "This is Jethro, my ex-marine" she smiled.

"Nice to meet you" Helen smiled at Gibbs before music reached her ears "I come on Daniel it's our song" she pulled him away "It was nice meeting you" she waved to Jenny and Gibbs over her shoulder before pulling Director Davis onto the dance floor.

Jenny then turned to Gibbs "Thank you" she reached up and kissed him lovingly.

"Anytime" he kissed her.

"I should probably tell you what that was all about" Jenny sighed resting her hands on Gibbs's muscular chest.

"I know" he almost cringed.

"How?" she asked concerned looking up at him, his hands raised and covered hers and gave them a squeeze.

"Tony has a big mouth, but don't blame him I made him continue talking" Gibbs replied.

Jenny nodded "You threaten him or something?" she asked with a smile.

"Or something" he smiled at her before leaning down and kissing her again, only this time she began to heat it up, Jenny began to run her hands through his hair making his short back and sides stick up, meanwhile his tongue explored her mouth "Maybe we should get out of here?" Gibbs suggested.

Jenny just murmured a response against his neck that he took as a yes. "Your place or mine?" Gibbs asked as she nuzzled his neck.

"Yours is closer" Jenny replied before dragging him to the exit.
